| Abstract |
A method for measuring concentration of suspended solids in liquid media, based on depolarization of backscattered polarized light, has been developed and instrumented. Feasibility studies and field evaluation of the instrument, using sewage influent, effluent and sludge, showed that there is a specific relationship between concentration of solid particles and polarization ratio. It was also shown that the relationship is independent of size distribution and density of particles, color of particles or solution, sludge consistency, velocity, and build-up of solids on the optical window. The field evaluation results indicate that this instrument provides a continuous instantaneous in situ measurement of suspended solids concentrations in combined sewers and other wastewater flows. |
